A Poet Destroyed

I burn in a fiery blaze of disappointment for a poor judge to see . Swallowed by hungry tears. Shallow tears eat my cheek. The salty substance, similar to the oceans of life. Washed away and swept off my feet. I am a tiny speckle left of a winning dream. Destroyed by a poets losing dream . A poet destroyer. The ocean of life washing away my short winded words, along with my poorly judged tears in this oceans lair. Knoked by a rock, out of my rhyming socks.A poet destroyed.

I am enjoying your poetry so much since you have joined PS. Continue and you will go far in your writing endeavors. I'm sure you do not write of personal experience here? Although, I'm sure everyone feels this way at one point. I know I have...cant wait to read more from you. Blessings, Rhonda
